Good email, David.
I had four lute lessons, two from Jacob Lindberg, two from David Miller.
Learned enough to realise that these guys could play better than they could
teach. Been stumbling on my own for years now. Made my own mistakes. Found

One small advantage of playing withouth the RH little finger on the

My old Steiner furniture lute had a similar treble rider, and I've seen
them on other instruments of that type and vintage. Perhaps they got the
idea from the Bream instrument. It had only seven courses and a single
chanterelle, though.

No one has mentioned, though I suppose some have noticed, it has metal
frets. Typical of Lutes before the advent of traditional historically
accurate instruments. When I went to Oakland University the school owned a
Rubio and it was a dog musically. This was in the mid 70's and apparently
Roger Traversac on the French lute list said he bought almost the
same Rubio lute for 3000 francs (448 Euro ) in 1997/1999. It was on sale
through the magazine Les cahiers de la guitare.

Hi Vance,
Yes I noticed the frets. As soon as I saw the back of the neck I
said, what's wrong with this picture? I like Rubio's monogram BTW.

No one can argue that this is not a beautiful instrument, and if Bream owned
it I am sure it has a wonderful sound, if not a bit Guitar like.

What I meant to say was--
A couple other guitar-like qualities include the classical guitar-like bridge,
complete with saddle raised toward the bass end, the fingerboard height is
actually above the level of the belly, and to my eye,
Perhaps it was guitar size. Lute makers are constantly telling us
that 60cm lutes as standard are well below the size of standard guitars.
Another point noted, the first two single strings, obviously do
appear on 11c lutes, and also we often compromise on the 9c type lute
